Showdown

The hand
ticks toward noon,
main street quiets,
a voice call out  -
make my day....

Clint makes his play


Music

It brings beauty,
It brings joy.

Beauty, love, stregnth,
All of these it brings.

It hushes the songbirds,
It quiets the forest.

It fills me up,
When I hear the notes.

One-Eyed Owl

a new full moon
is a one-eyed owl
gazing upon my road
by the river, near the sea.


it quiets down
the caged chaos in me
as i step on my shadow
by the river, near the sea.

One's At Peace State

For its composure of mind
One's at peace state
Of all quiets most felt
Angel-wrapped in.

Hang, as in your memory
Whose image of.
Life unto death's staunchest
Anxious-warding.

Advocates Of A Busy Philosophy

To stop twould make but active
Those quiets, this emptiness
Does amplify:
'I am nothing!'

Shudders, the worst, naturally
Of the panic-struck bring on.
Confronted by
Its head-ringing.

Magic Reclaimed

The power of one word
a sentence to shame
Whose meaning suborted
and magic reclaimed

Only one syllable
quiets the storm
Where poets can dream
—in beauty reborn

Imprisioned

Townly as worldly
Imprisioned. The clue?
Afar, further still, day, night
Longingly, long through 
Gaze out. Voids. Quiets!
Mead's. Those bloom, starry.
With escapist's tendencies
But hie, musefully.

The Parrot Who Never Quiets

Gandalf, my parrot
   Your babble is ludicrous 
      Please SHUT THE HELL UP!


* Written for my beloved African grey parrot, Gandalf.
Has an incredibly huge vocab- but will never stay quiet!

Home - Now Returning To

More and more a comfort
Restful-lamped eves
Of consoling. In short
Home. Rest begets.
Whose nerve-stilling quiets
Soon to seep aid.

Back from off a street blown
Which hour of life
All joy for has outflown
A heart. Afraid.

The Night

Just when the night falls
the pain subsides, a little.
And the soul quiets.
In the night
silently hidden in my dream
I can listen to your voice
narrate of your dreams.
I can hear you sing.
Then
a new morning comes
and your song 
ends

Whisper

WHISPER

His kisses 
whisper love.

I listen
as
his bottled up
desires
flow out.

I trace
those words
slowly
achingly
dangerously
desperately steadfast.

Gasping

Still
he quiets me
hopelessly endearing
in hushed
whispers.

Sensory Overload

Dark silence I embrace

Dark silence slows the pace 

Dark silence cuts my frustration down to size

 

Dark silence quiets the chase

Dark silence relaxes my face

Dark silence cools my eyes

Tea Time

Lure of sunset quiets the soul
Mellowing hazed thoughts from day's work
Nothing but herbal tea clears mind
Oft not , caffeine- loaded Starbucks -
Peace wafts by brewing turmeric

These Quiets

Priestly, abide in stillness.
Cloistered in dim hid
Woods, walled up gardens.
A reverence breathed! Of mind
Where the best ripens.

From their chastening effect
Who, for to think deep
Has kept far away
An appealing courtesy
Not so deemed this day!

Premium Member Water Ketten

Water is always my release,
release of that impulse to dive.
Dive fish-scaled and iridescent,
 iridescent swells the water. 

Water quiets and feels like home,
home undulates but stays sacred.
Sacred like every rolling wave,
wave that binds my soul to water.

Your Not Alone

I know where you’ve been
You’re not alone
Walking through doors
Looking for signs
I know where you’ve been
You’re not alone
Room full of noise
Quiets the mind
I know where you’ve been
You’re not alone
Open your eyes
And you will find
You’re not alone
Anymore

Premium Member Sound of Siren

Sirens in more than one direction.
First responders 
My soul quiets as I listen
They seem close then further away
As they leave I feel my breath leaving
And I realize I have been holding it.
I relax for a few minutes until the next siren
Perils of living in a city

Premium Member Starry Night

   In a Van Gogh painting
   cheap wine and waiting
   inside our favorite cafe
   out of focus strange day
   swirling forever wars
   madness midnight stars
   satisfy my lust's desire
   quenching passion's fire
   Morphine in the vein
   quiets the war's pain.

Premium Member I Have Jesus

Whatever happens on the storm-tossed way,
Whatever happens to cloud up the day,
Whatever happens to cause me dismay~

I have Jesus.

Jesus, The One Who quiets the sea
Jesus, The One Who makes the clouds flee, 
Jesus, The One Who brings hope to me~

I have Jesus.

Premium Member Impatience

IMPATIENCE

it’s spring      gloomy day
and i watch from the window
strange quiets and excitements
hang in the humidity
like ghostly, long caged voices

the green explosion
has destroyed winter’s hold,
silenced the screaming,
and impatient nature
awaits a late burst of sun

The Heart of the Sea

Her beauty is captivating
Her ways are beguiling
Like a temptress
She stirs emotions deep within you
Yet she quiets the soul

She is strong 
Yet gentle
A force never to be ignored
She listens
But never tells
She is deep
Not shallow
She's full of wonder
And mystery
She truly is the life
And heart of the sea

I Asked For Roses

Sweet concord mellow wine
Loosening my tongue
As I tell all
To all
About you, the volcano erupting
Into my life,
Storming verbally
Crushing my heart...
But I don't cry,
Not me!
Sweet concord mellow wine quiets me
As as you claim you are mine
I ask, "Lord why me?"
"I asked for roses and you sent me a tree!"

Desire

The desire to have her, mind, body and soul rages through me like a wildfire consuming all in its path
Unlike the wildfire that engulfs everything it sees, the desire only sees her
She is all the desire wants to consume
Every inch, every fiber, constantly, until the desire quiets
Which as the desire tells me, will be never

I Asked For Roses

Sweet concord mellow wine
Loosening my tongue
As I tell all
To all
About you, the volcano erupting
Into my life,
Storming verbally,
Crushing my heart...
But I don't cry,
Not me!
Sweet Concord mellow wine, quiets me!
And as you claim you are mine,
I ask, "Lord why me?"
"I asked for roses and you sent me a tree!"
